Introduction

Special Note: This Masters course is not approved by DEEWR for student income support payments (i.e. Youth Allowance and Austudy).

The two-year Master of Electronic Business (Specialisation) enables students to develop specialist knowledge in electronic business and one related specialist field such as International Business, Information Systems Management, and Accounting. This is of interest to those students requiring a broad two-year electronic business degree rather than the more general (and research oriented) Master of Information Systems, or the more restricted eight-unit Master of Electronic Business.

and at least three years of relevant professional experience for those without a major or sub-major in a relevant discipline.
